Chain Link Fences: The Ugly Duckling of Residential Fences

July 25, 2013

If you drive down the street in your neighborhood, you are sure to see a myriad of fence types, from privacy fences to picket fences, made from numerous materials, including wood, aluminum, and vinyl. However, you aren’t likely to see a fencing industry staple: chain link fencing. Over the years, chain link fences have received an unfair rap, but why? There are actual several benefits to chain link fences, including:

Cost: In today’s economy, cost is always at the top of everyone’s list. So why not consider chain link fencing? These fences are very affordable, especially when compared to more ornate wooden fences. Chain link fences are perfect for the cost-conscious homeowner who doesn’t want to spend an arm and a leg for a quality fence.

Maintenance: Unlike wooden fences, chain link fence require very little maintenance. In fact, they even require less maintenance than vinyl fences. Chain link fences are great. They are cheap to install and even cheaper to maintain. That is what we like to call a win-win, but price is only the beginning.

Durability: When you think inexpensive, you think poor quality and weak. Chain link fences, however, are incredibly durable. Chain link fences are typically made from galvanized steel, which is highly durable and resistant to corrosion.

Security: Chain link provides a level of security that is second to none.
